Custom Orthotics

Your feet have a direct impact on the rest of your body and support you with each step. A small abnormality in foot function can have a large impact on joints higher up in the body, causing pain and discomfort.

When you are running, the pressure on your feet can be three or four times your body weight. Even walking can produce more pressure than the sum of your body weight. The American Podiatric Medical Association says that the average person takes 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day. That adds up to about 115,000 miles in a lifetime or more than four times the circumference of the globe. That is a lot of walking with ill-fitting shoes or painful feet!!

Women have four times as many foot problems as men because they have a long history of wearing high heels and/or pointy toe shoes.

Common conditions treated with foot orthotics include:

Excessive Foot Pronation (flat-feet)

Foot Pain and Fatigue

Leg Pain and Fatigue

Knee Pain

Back Pain

Sports Injuries

Arthritis

Orthotics and proper shoe fit can help reduce foot, knee, hip and back pain. Remember if you are experiencing pain or discomfort in your ankles, knees or hip joints ....the direct cause may be the function of your feet or ill-fitting shoes.
